Order/Scholar Income and Attack building

[TemplarTyler]

Since returning back to playing on AC:Rec I noticed that so many people were boosting their Income, so that my old decks were just poor.
So I tried to create a few decks and each one had good and bad points, however, I think I have got one that works well, I lose perhaps 1-2 every 10 games or so (Depends on who the opponent is and their style of play too)

EDIT: Revised edition 2.

Scientific Method

For a total of 60 memories (30 agents, 20 Actions and 10 Sites)
The sites though can be used twice + because of the Library. The main purpose of the deck is to build a quick income, then using agents to build one another up.

I know their is a lack of counters in the deck and that it is mainly attack, attack and I do not believe it can compare to a lot of the decks you guys have made... I am wondering your thoughts and opinions on the deck... and how best to improve it and what will I have to be careful of beating it black and blue?

Thanks

EDIT: I think I have managed to put in a number of counters, which has helped, and the extra Dante's have helped to on average help be able to counter Threat agents. Thoughts after the changes?

My suggestion is to cull the deck a bit. Taking out Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained would be a start--I don't ever like to play that card unless I'm running Juno or Royal Intervention and need at lot of income by the end of the game. I'm also not a big fan of KHAP unless I'm trying to win the game in the first few turns. Borgia Tower is also always helpful in a blue weenie deck. If you're concerned about beating crime, I would add more agents with cunning or (more simply) more Dantes. If an agent is safe, threat won't kill it.

[TemplarTyler]

Aye, I have made some changes to it,

NVNG is out, Replaced with 2 Court orders and an Under Arrest

Aye, I have thought about adding another Dante, or Adding in the Auditore Brothers, or Amerigo Vespucci... I have also been wondering about the Borgia Towers... But unsure how many of the other sites to lose ( I want to keep it around the 60 memories mark you see)

Thank You for the feed back... I am going to try and add those BTs in

You should shoot for 50 cards max

Really drill down on what your key cards are. Define if you need 5 of them, and tweak into 4s and 3s what you don't need to ALWAYS get. For example expensive stuff or situational stuff.

Take a look at the academy sub-board's "importance of card counts" post

[Rob (Roebidoebi)]

While playing there are probably some cards you hardly ever play. These are the cards you can take out. Also one-copy cards (without substitute) like Charles should go. They make your deck inconsistent (sometime you get lucky and draw it at the right time, but most of the time you have to do without). I count Cesare/Lucretia/Leonardo as one card (type) as you probably do not have multiple copies of those.

[TemplarTyler]

Hmm, ty for the advice, I will see what I can change... I think I defo need to take out Field Study, most of the time I end up with them... and Just think... "Go away I can't use you!" lol

Aye, Roe, I have counted them as one type too. It is a shame to say but you are perhaps right with Charles having to leave the deck, when he does come into play, I can really boost him up with a knight (3) and Troche plus any other Noble in play.

I also think I will take out field study, as more than half the time I find myself with them and thinking "Go away I don't need you!" Lol

Again Thank You for the advice
